Do you wait until the last minute to do your Christmas shopping? As they say, you save the best for last – and nothing is better than tickets to shows at Tuacahn, especially in the year that marks its 20th year celebration. Season packages are already on sale. Through December 31st you will be able to get season packages that include tickets as low as $20.00 per show!
What’s in the line-up? When you wish, Beauty and the Beast, and Sister Act. This coming summer the majestic red rock cliffs of Southern Utah will miraculously transform into a Disney wonderland of fun and fantasy with the never before seen world premiere of Disney’s When You Wish. A bewitching collaboration between Disney and Tuacahn, When You Wish brings the best of Disney’s musicals to the Tuacahn Amphitheatre .
“The success of Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Tuacahn’s fabulous record of producing outstanding Disney musicals has contributed to receiving the rights to produce the premiere of Disney’s When You Wish. It is a great honor,” says Scott Anderson, Tuacahn’s Artistic Director. Mr. Anderson continued, “This spectacular stage production features classic animation from Disney’s extensive film library displayed on our giant water curtain using state of the art projection accompanied by full choreographed live production numbers. This fantastic live production coupled with a stunning panoramic backdrop will be something your family will never forget.”
With the wave of Mickey’s magic wand the Tuacahn Amphitheatre will be transformed to present the tale as old as time, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This will be the second time Tuacahn has presented this musical. In 2005, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was the first Disney musical that Tuacahn received license to produce. It was a smashing success and laid the ground work for other Disney musicals to be shown at Tuacahn. Now, ten years later, Tuacahn will enchant you and your family once again as the Beast must learn to love and be loved before it is too late.
Rounding out the 2015 summer show season will be the Tony Award nominated Sister Act, a divine musical comedy to be sure. This hilarious musical tells the story of Deloris, who’s life dream is to become a diva. Her life takes a drastic turn when she witnesses a serious crime and the police must hide her in the last place anyone might look- a convent! Under the condescending eye of Mother Superior, Deloris transforms the voices of her fellow sisters and in the end rediscovers her own. This musical comedy will have you crying and laughing at the same time, while leaving you praying for more.
Disney’s When You Wish will run in repertory with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast from the end of May through mid-October, 2015. Sister Act will commence in August, 2015.
Tickets for all performances are now on sale by calling the Tuacahn box office at (435) 652-3300 or online at tuacahn.org. Tuacahn is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
